Question:

In my divorce, my ex-wife and I were to split all debts 50-50. However, she has failed to pay many of the utility bills and now those companies are coming after me for full payment because she is not working.

Can I just show them the divorce court order that I am only responsible for half the debt and that they need to go through my ex-wife for the other half? Or will these companies hold me fully responsible for these debts?

Question:

Is therapy for child considered a medical procedure that both parents should reach a decision on?

My ex-wife has taken our child to therapy sessions without my consent. My understanding is that any medical "procedure" needs to be agreed upon by both parties.

Is my child's therapy session considered a medical procedure?

Your divorce decree, once entered into by the court, becomes a court order. When a court order exists, the parties must follow the order or risk a possible Contempt or Show Cause Action.

Other options include a modification to the divorce decree.

Question:

My question is about property laws and forcing the sale of the marital home.

In my divorce decree, we were to both agree on the real estate agent who would sell our marital home. I sent the list of preferred agents to my ex-wife and her divorce lawyer. She refused to agree to any of them.

So my ex-wife is still residing in the marital home we were ordered by the court to sell. The loan is in my name, and thus the credit burden is on me.

How can I get her to abide by the court order, move out, and follow through with the sale of the marital home?

Question:

My wife took our children to Denmark (where we used to live) over a year ago for a vacation that I agreed to.

She had medical complications that forced her to stay this whole time, and now my wife has said she wants to live in Denmark with the children permanently.

I have filed for divorce and the children are with me back in the U.S. for a visit per a court order while we await our trial on where the kids should live.

There is no child custody order in place, just the court order that the kids are allowed to visit me for a month.

What are the rights for fathers if they refuse to send the kids back after their court-ordered visit is supposed to end? I feel like if I send them back to Denmark I will never see them again!
